Out To Sea!

   BLOG FOR SATURDAY, JULY 27TH.

     After spending a week at the shore with an
occasional dip in the water we decided it was
about time we actually went out to sea!
    We chose a Dolphin watching cruise for
our adventure.
     After arranging for the tickets, and making
sure my son-in-law purchased his supply of
Dramamine, we boarded a popular sight
seeing vessel that makes three trips a day into
the open ocean just off Wildwood and Cape
May.
    I immediately noticed some very pleasant
sights!
    There was a life saving ring right in front
of me and more than enough life jackets to
handle all of our passengers. In fact, there
were less than two dozen people on board
a boat that can probably handle a hundred
or so! It was like a Charter cruise!
     As we passed the breakwater boulders
near Cape May and hit the actual ocean
two things became very apparent.
     First, there were plenty of Dolphins
to be seen if you looked quickly as they
rose for air then suddenly dove under
water.
     Second, it was good my son-in-law
took his Dramamine!
     As the boat slowed to allow a better
view of the Dolphins you either got your
"sea legs" fast, or grabbed for anything
that wasn't moving to stay upright!
     By the time we returned we were
"old salts" eager to have other boats pass
so we could rock in their wakes!
     Then, as if from a scene in "The Birds"
the Captain allowed those who wished to
throw bread out over the stern! Hitchcock
would have loved the Seagulls waiting to
come after the crumbs!
      Soon we'll set our compass for home
and sail back to northeastern Pennsylvania.
      I'm wondering if the Schuylkill
Expressway and/or Pennsylvania Turnpike
will be smooth sailing? Perhaps I can
borrow some of my son-in-law's Dramamine!
     Hope you've kept things ship shape while
I've been away and that all of your NEWS
is good!
